The Longest Thread in History

[bloocrab]

A first grade teacher in Pittsburgh explains to her

class that she is a Steelers fan. She asks her

students to raise their hands if they, too, are

Steelers fans. Everyone in the class raises their

hand, except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and

says, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Steelers fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are

not a Steelers fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I am a Patriots fan, and proud of it," Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why

are you a Patriots fan?"

"Because my mom is a Patriots fan, and my dad is a Patriots

fan, so I'm a Patriots fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed

tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Patriots fan. You

don't have to be just like your parents all of the

time. What if your Mom was a moron and your dad was

a moron, what would you be then?"

"Then," Janie smiled, "we'd be Steelers fans."
